Fox statement on federal election

“I
want to congratulate all candidates who worked so hard in this election. We may
represent different parties but we all work to better the lives of Islanders and
to ensure that we are heard in Ottawa.

I
also want to thank the many volunteers and Elections Canada staff who helped
make the voting process run smoothly as we exercised our democratic franchise.

A
new government has been elected and as elected representatives it's important
for all levels of government to work together and focus on issues that matter to
Prince Edward Island's future.

Finally,
I want to thank Gail Shea for her outstanding service to our province as our
federal Cabinet Minister over the last seven years. Gail worked tirelessly for
the Island making tremendous progress for the fishery, for agriculture, for our
public infrastructure, for our economy and our energy future. As the Island’s
representative in the federal Cabinet she set the bar high for those will
follow.”
